Southern California's Family Destination and Event Guide

#SanDiegoMuseumMonth

Kids Free in October, returns for its seventh year and you don’t want to miss it!

Offered by the San Diego Museum Council, Kids Free in October, presented by ScholarShare, gives families the opportunity to visit more museum destinations than ever before by providing free admission, at over 40 participating organizations, for up to two kids with every adult ticket purchase.

Don’t forget your coupon! This program can bring savings of up to $30 for a family of four. Head to the San Diego Museum Council Website to download your coupon and the full directory of participating museums.

Here is a list of participating museums, including our favorite Balboa Park Museum, The San Diego Air and Space Museum.

Happy Monday!! It’s been quite busy at our home the past two weeks. We were hit with the dreaded flu and with the end of my school semester. To say that its been a little rough is an understatement. I’m happy to be back on the mend and ready to share some fun ideas, event, and outings.

The San Diego Museum Month is one of my favorite annual events, and a great way to go out and explore San Diego with the family. During the month of February you can enjoy half-off entry fees at 44 San Diego Museum Council membership museums. You can pick up a museum pass at Macy’s stores in the San Diego and Temecula area. The passes are free to obtain and can be used all month long.
